God cares for you

1 Peter 5:1-7

Tending the Flock of God

​Now as an elder myself and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I exhort the elders among you to tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it—not for sordid gain but eagerly. Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades away.

In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for

“God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.”

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.

God cares for you.
A memory buried deep.
Words spoken in our ears
whispered in the wind.
God cares for you.
Today, God.
may these words take root in our lives.
God cares for you.
May we know ourselves cared for.
May we see you all around
in a helping hand,
in an encouraging smile,
in a random encounter.
God cares for you.
May that be not just a notion
but a lived into reality 
for us today.
God cares for you.
